Great news from the National American Indian Science and Engineering Fair! 

A team of students from Jefferson Middle School (APS) participated in the National American Indian Science and Engineering Fair.  The event was held at Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma this Saturday, April 1, 2023.
Congratulations to the participating students Harold Rogers, Jaylie Bradford, and Layla Perry, and teachers Jay Penn, Shannon Johnson, and Jana Antonio-Cheung. Their time and effort spent had paid off.  :-) 
We greatly appreciate the sponsorship of NAISEF/AISES with the guidance of program officers:  Rennea Howell and Chloe Smith. Thank you for giving us the opportunity!  
We had a fun experience working on the projects, as well as traveling.
We're looking forward to next year's competition!
